creeping Jenny

Creeping Jenny prefers moist, well-drained soil, but it should not be overwatered. During the growing season, water your plant once every 2-3 days. During hot weather, more frequent watering may be necessary. Water your plant until the top few inches of soil are moist and allow the soil to dry out a bit before watering again. In winter, reduce watering to once a week or less. If the leaves start to yellow, increase watering frequency. Make sure to always water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.

Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia 'Goldilocks') is an adaptable and attractive perennial that thrives in full sun to part shade. It requires about 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, with some afternoon shade. Providing the plant with the aforementioned amount of sunlight will keep it blooming and healthy throughout the season. Ideally, morning or early afternoon sun is preferred to prevent the plant from becoming scorched during the heat of the day.

Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia 'Goldilocks') responds best to light pruning throughout the growing season. This usually means removing the blooms as they fade throughout the season, cutting stems back as they become large and top-heavy, and removing any dead or damaged foliage. Pruning should be done with proper gardening shears for the best results. Generally, it’s best to prune these plants during the spring or early summer just after flowering. This allows new basal growth to be encouraged while also reducing the amount of seed the plant can produce. During the autumn and winter, pruning should be less frequent but more focused, removing any damaged foliage and reducing the overall size of the plant if necessary. Take care not to over prune as this can cause damage to the roots and stems of the plant.
